The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood Chapter 329

Episode 329. Starting Today, I am a Munchkin Hunter from another world (3)

Jeong Ha-seong, separated from his group, thought from a nearby parking tower.

Until now, I just thought the blonde hunter was a bit odd.

But you didn’t even give me a clue. Now, all of a sudden, you’re revealing such a shocking personal story?

‘eww…….’

To Jeong Ha-seong, everything just felt like a bolt from the blue.

Whether you are usually calm or not.

Because he was hit while his guard was off, he felt several times more confused than usual.

-Brother! Now that I think about it, you clearly told me to call this person before you collapsed… So I didn’t forget and took off my shoes and looked for his contact information… … .

Of course, it was better than the skinhead awakener who had to endure the fainting test alone.

“after.”

Jeong Ha-seong got into his car, which had been parked in the parking tower.

After that, calm down and stop your actions for now.

The national hero soon reached a point where he thought about the same topic as the head of the Korean Tower Guild.

‘It seems like there is no solution other than elixir.’

So then, what is the identity of this dungeon liquid that has been mentioned often since long ago?

actually.

[Elixir] was not an item officially registered in the world loot database.

However, it was an item that was assumed to exist in the atmosphere.

[(Today’s Gate) Industry Quiz: Does a ‘Panacea’ Exist? Or Not?]

As if a legend was born for people who are lazy about taking care of themselves.

It’s a miracle drug that will cure your body just by eating and drinking it.

To go into more detail, elixir was the name of a drug that could achieve immortality during the Middle Ages.

However, in modern times, the meaning of the word has changed slightly in the hunting industry.

Now, hunters used that term to refer to a substance that would eliminate all diseases and harm from the body.

Additionally, it doesn’t end here.

There were even cases where people actually experienced the absurd medicinal effects that the elixir had previously claimed.

‘Come to think of it, is that Awakened One still healthy?’

To explain the modern elixir, we have to go back a few years.

About 7 years ago.

That is, when Dungeon Shock had just broken out.

At that time, a rural village in Sweden was surrounded by an army of monsters.

There was an incident where a young man who had been on a refuge somehow discovered magical powers and used the abilities he had acquired to deal with waves of monsters.

At the same time, the budding hunters reportedly obtained some unusually shaped loot as a result of this massive hunt.

It’s somehow too wide and strange to drink from with a human spout.

‘A bottle of that kind and an unknown liquid… … .’

However, the young man who obtained the liquid is said to have had an inexplicable feeling at the time.

So, I made my family drink the water I had obtained based on the thoughts in my head.

Strangely enough, an old man who was on the verge of death woke up in full force.

“… … .”

Surprisingly, this was the story of the use of the ‘panacea’ that could be found in foreign news.

A testimony that is difficult to believe.

But what is even more terrifying is what happened to Hans, a Swede who claimed to have actually drunk the magic potion.

‘Yeah. When I search for it, it comes up right away.’

Ha-seong looks at his cell phone.

‘An old Swedish awakener. He was already in his seventies at the beginning of Dungeon Shock, so he must be in his eighties now.’

Hans Johansson, the legendary panacea, is 78 years old and is a famous Awakened who holds the record for being the ‘world’s oldest hunter’.

At the beginning of Dungeon Shock, I was suffering from a disease that didn’t even have a name yet. I was suffering from magic addiction and was getting weaker by the day…

The man who was so frozen that he couldn’t move a finger right before his son defeated the army of demons, turned into a hunter after drinking just one potion.

‘It’s common for older people to become vegetative because they can’t withstand the shock of awakening.’

Anyway, I’m really lucky.

‘Is this the most recent article?’

And with this, I could truly believe in the existence of an item that could heal people with just one drink.

The example of one Swedish family was powerful.

Didn’t he completely cure magic addiction, which even today has no cure?

There was even a time when a film crew from an overseas program conducted a health checkup on the oldest person to have awakened.

The results of the examination revealed at that time were unprecedented rejuvenation.

Hans Johansson was in such good health that you would never guess he was in his seventies.

Someone’s physical age turned back by at least 20 years.

And on top of that, the first elderly awakened person was born.

Jeong Ha-seong searched for the article about the Swedes again because he remembered it after a long time.

Then, in the image category on the screen, it was not difficult to find a photo of two men with their arms around each other and smiling happily.

“… … .”

My feelings become complicated as I look at the sight of the rich siblings being carried around in a large car.

-Bam.

Anyway, if there really was a magic potion among those numerous dungeon creatures, as that family has been insisting on, it wouldn’t be impossible to cure the symptoms that Korea’s S-class suffers from…

‘Let alone a panacea. Now, even the monster that gave me the spoils of war has not been reported as being of the same species.’

There is nothing easy in this world.

Jeong Ha-seong lowered his head.

As he just thought, [Elixir], which is of interest to people all over the world, has not been discovered yet.

‘At best, occasionally a new high-grade wound healing liquid will appear, causing misunderstandings… … .’

Additional testimony from Hans, the alleged user of the panacea, was as follows:

The potion arouses all human interest with just one glance, and when one touches it, one gets the vague certainty that ‘this potion will restore me to ideal health the moment I drink it.’

So, even if there are counterfeit products on the market, never be fooled.

But as some kind of truth came to him, Jeong Ha-seong began to think this way.

‘Now, I’d rather see the shadow of that damn elixir than be a fraud.’

I was sincere.

If there really were a potion that magically cured any illness, then honestly, it would be the one that would grant my biggest wish.

‘… … .’

But there’s no point in daydreaming alone on the street.

[Auction House Search]

[Item Name: Elixir]

[Results: 0]

I really want to help a hunter whose face I know.

Anyway, at the moment, since the true nature of the panacea has not been confirmed, there is nothing that can be done.

furthermore.

‘Even if I ever find that medicine, I… … .’

Jeong Ha-seong turned his head away from the screen with a stern face.

The appearance of a smartphone that becomes dark depending on the auto-off time of the screen.

He closed his eyes and made up his mind not to think about useless things.

But my resolution was fruitless, and my disobedient mind kept coming up with new worries.

‘Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo is a patient.’

It was terrible.

‘That person was seriously ill too. I was the only one who didn’t know until now.’

Why do you keep dwelling on something that has already happened?

This is a common, non-economic consideration among people of a certain personality type.

But the number one ranked hunter couldn’t stop thinking about it even though he knew it himself.

‘How on earth… … .’

Even though he himself was different from other hunters in that he had shared a house with that Awakened person.

‘Is it not eyes or holes on my head?’

A feeling of guilt creeps in.

‘I shouldn’t have passed it over so carelessly just because they were both S-class… … .’

Jeong Ha-seong’s expression became serious.

To be honest and objective, it was really difficult to immediately assume that an S-class Awakened person standing at the pinnacle of evolution in this world was sick.

The man behind the wheel had relatively low self-confidence, so he often fell into self-deprecation.

‘How can you watch people every day and not know anything?’

Besides, it may have been due to misinterpretation, but if you take the time to think about it carefully, the puzzle that leads to today seems to have been a part of everyday life.

Then, shall we look back on the past while knowing the truth that Hunter Mo is a cancer patient?

Ha-seong recalled the past without breaking away from his self-deprecating tone.

-Jung Ha-seong Hunter. … I personally appreciate that you work so hard to work with someone like me.

The first thing that came to mind was a conversation at a dinner table.

These were sentences that someone had shouted out without realizing it, even in the hospital room.

-But what if. One day I say that I don’t think I can keep that promise… … .

The menu was probably something like budaejjigae. Well, let’s just skip over that part.

Clearly, on that day, a certain S-class hunter had said this in a serious tone.

I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but I wondered if it would be okay to cancel the regular team schedule that we had promised a long time ago.

And when asked exactly why he made that choice, Kim Ki-ryeo quickly changed his words.

‘I told you not to worry about the promise, saying that I was just tired lately and made a slip of the tongue… ‘

The problem is that the blonde hunter reversed his decision to retire in just 3 seconds.

So at that time, Jeong Ha-seong listened to both sides’ arguments and thought about it.

‘Isn’t this just an excuse because you don’t want to do business with me?’

Actually, it was correct.

The aliens tried to pretend to be sick in a hurry to hide the fact that they had cheated, as the status of a certain Korean had been solidified by the Ice Palace raid.

However, in the middle of the conversation, an incident occurred where the S-class pyromancer in question split the restaurant furniture in half in one breath.

The frightened alien wizard eventually immediately withdrew all his excuses.

And this appears to be quite a disturbing behavior to Jeong Ha-seong.

“Ugh… … !”

But now, because someone’s family history of the disease has been revealed, the situation is rapidly becoming more and more mysterious.

‘I just thought about taking a break because I was a little tired! I didn’t say it was cancer!’

Kim Ki-ryeo, the S-class hunter, was he so sick that he could no longer work?

But who cares too much?

Maybe he changed his words because he was worried that it might interfere with other hunters’ work… … .

‘I can’t believe it.’

If that’s the case, then all the discomfort I’ve felt from time to time up until now is explained.

Ha Seong reinterpreted Kim Ki-ryeo’s past actions.

Of course, it was far from reality. The thoughts that followed were also distorted.

‘This and that… and even then, it was all because I was already sick!’

This is the identity of psychology.

It is human nature to suddenly look at a pot lid differently just because it has passed by, even though it was normally used properly.

‘But do people really die from that kind of disease? I’ve heard somewhere that it’s much harder to treat the underlying disease of the awakened. But these days, there are a lot of good medicines out there, right?’

Jeong Ha-seong tries hard to find hope.

But it doesn’t work well.

He couldn’t break the chain of negative thoughts because he kept feeling guilty for not recognizing the signs of someone in serious trouble right in front of him.

So Jeong Ha-seong continued to think of this hypothesis.

【3.5】

-Let’s see. It looks like that unit is kilograms… … .

Based on the suspicions I had before.

Information power.

Combat power.

Judgment.

‘If it’s about the outstanding identity disguise ability that allowed me to live as an F-class hunter for even a moment, it’s just a pain in the butt to talk about it.’

Additionally, it could be said that this was proven in [Labyrinth of the 13th Month]… including mental power.

‘Absolutely not ordinary.’

In his assessment, Korea’s fourth S-class was an over-capable person who could barely be called an all-rounder.

And it is generally judged that it is difficult for ordinary people who have gone through a smooth educational process like others and reached their 20s to have such versatility.

‘Honestly, this is just a stretch, but that story about wearing a uniform and working outside was also… … If you look at it, it was like he was trying to be an ordinary civil servant, but he caught the eye of the country and was scouted to that, ‘that’ department, so it fell through?’

Jeong Ha-seong still strongly suspected that someone’s origin was that of an agent of a state-run agency…

Even this idea was solidified by newly given disease information.

‘Yeah. That’s what happened!’

The number one ranked hunter in South Korea has already been awake for several years this year.

But even when disaster is at its peak, a hunter you’ve never met before suddenly shows up and shows off his top-notch skills.

After the blonde hunter officially reveals his identity, even the few dungeon entry records of the opponent are completely exposed to the world.

thus.

‘Common sense… … .’

To conclude, Kim Ki-ryeo could not have suffered from amnesia through normal means.

Why?

There is no dungeon in Korea where an S-class hunter would suffer head trauma.

In the past, Jeong Ha-seong lived up to his nickname of ‘machine’ by destroying all the high-difficulty gates.

The few remaining dangers were also handled consistently by the second-place hunter.

‘It doesn’t make sense… … .’

At least as far as he knew, there was no such thing as an unexplored high-difficulty gate in this Republic of Korea.

Of course, it makes sense if you get injured in a special dungeon like [White Labyrinth] where it’s hard to detect when it happened and the exit disappears quickly.

But what are the chances that an S-class person will be quietly kidnapped into an S-class dungeon while walking down the street?

And is that really any better than the odds of being struck by lightning?

“… … .”

Anyway, Jeong Ha-seong thought that if a battle like that where a big shot like an S-class gets hurt occurs, at least related articles should be published.

But before Kim Ki-ryeo made his full-fledged appearance, not even a small rumor circulated.

Even though he is so strong.

As if some huge organization had fundamentally prevented information leaks.

‘… … .’

All of these contradictions were actually caused by someone fundamentally lying.

But the listener believed the conman completely.

The average person who ranked first could not help but end up getting the wrong result.

‘As expected, that guy Kim Ki-ryeo is a National Intelligence Service agent. Isn’t that right…? …?’

And I wonder if he’s already sick from protecting the country.

‘This is the extent of the sacrifices made by government agencies that I had taken for granted.’

That was when.

Ha-seong reflexively recalled the sentence out of frustration.

‘Of course, it was all a choice for the sake of this country. But still, it’s bad to make the members suffer like that until they get sick.’

He himself has no idea about the internal workforce there.

But anyway, Jeong Ha-seong really started to hate the command center that was supposedly in the National Intelligence Service.

Moreover, I was even more shaken when I remembered that the fourth S-class hunter in Korea always showed great resistance to pain.

In movies, don’t you often see trained agents who don’t reveal confidential information even under torture?

But what if the source of Kim Ki-ryeo’s unusual patience was not illness, but something like that?

‘There really is no such thing as human conduct!’

Soon the speculation reached this point.

In the heart of a young man, anger toward the inhumane social institutions sprouted.

-?

And at this time.

Mr. Yoon, a real National Intelligence Service manager living somewhere in Korea, suddenly felt a sense of injustice, but this was not a topic that others could know about.
